Festival of Quilts

Today was the Festival of Quilts in Vincennes, Indiana - and I had one of my quilts in the show!

This was the first year that I had one of my quilts shown at this show. Last year, I had entered the "Old Tippecanoe Block Challenge" that the Festival of Quilts held to commemorate President Harrison (who is from Indiana). To my surprise, I had won!!

I had won first place in the Applique category and second in the Pieced category. While at the show this year, I went to see these blocks at the Grouseland Mansion (former home of Van Buren), which was next door.

The start of a project is hopeful and bright. Now the real work starts. The hardest part is holding on to that hope. Keep reminding yourself of the shining, colorful vision you originally had.

I sew and I draw, but I'm not a writer. So, please excuse any of my grammar and spelling errors. I'm here to share my quilting (and crafting) adventures. Sometimes when I try to record my activities, my mind will run faster than my fingers can type. ; )
